Whether you have 10 minutes, one hour, or plenty of time, you can help build a world free of landmines and promote the rights of landmine victims! The strength of the ICBL comes from the involvement of people like YOU at the local, national, regional, and international levels.

We ask governments worldwide to increase efforts to complete their major obligations under the Mine Ban Treaty by 2025.

4. Send a lobbying letter

Read 'Lobbying Letters' for tips and templates for writing a lobbying letter to send to your government about the implementation or universalization of the Mine Ban Treaty. You could: - Write to one of the States Parties with clearance obligations to finish clearing landmines. - Write to one of the countries that have not joined the Mine Ban Treaty. Urge them to get on board right away! - Write to those countries that are in a position to fund/increase funding in mine clearance, victim assistance or advocacy efforts.

5. Meet with decision-makers

Meet with mine action and victim assistance authorities in your country, and tell them to step up efforts to complete landmine clearance as soon as possible and to provide adequate assistance to landmine victims.

If your country has not joined the Mine Ban Treaty yet, reach out to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other key authorities like the Ministry of Defense, and tell them to join the treaty as soon as possible.

6. Get the word out

Write to a local newspaper, call up a local radio station, post on social media and send information to your network of contacts. Share your posts with us on Twitter at @MineFreeWorld, and keep the conversation going!

7. Organise a campaign event

Raise awareness in your community. Organise a public event such as a photo or art exhibition, a landmine awareness day, a letter-writing event, or a public demonstration. Consider holding your event on one of the key dates of the Mine Ban Treaty: entry into force anniversary on 1 March, International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action on 4 April, or signature anniversary on 3 December.
